EMI UI

Functional Description

The emi-ui is a suite of clients and APIs that users and applications can use to access grid services

The access point to the Grid-Infrastructure is the User Interface (UI). This can be any machine where users have a personal account and where their user certificate is installed. From a UI a user can be authenticated and authorized to use the GRID resources, and can access the functionalities offered by the Information, Workload and Data Management Systems.
